CHIMNEY- Specification of Letters Patent.

HOLDER.

Patented Jan. ,9, 1906.

Application filed June 22, 1905. Serial No. 266,418.

To (LIZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANGUS R. COOPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mobile, in the county of Mobile, State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimney-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to lamp-chimney holders. c

One object of the invention resides in the provision of an exceedingly simple, inexpensive, durable, and eflicient means for preventing the accidental disengagement of the chimney from the burner.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide and connect integrally with the gallery of the burner an upright provided with fingers to embrace the chimney.

IVith these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that the changes in form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made within the scope of the claim without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the present invention.

In thedrawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the gallery of a lamp-burner employing my improvement. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the top member of the holder. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing a modification.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the reference character 1 designates the gallery of any type of lampburner provided with the lamp-chimney-engaging fingers 5 and 5, thefinger 5 continuing upwardly in reduced cross-sectional diameter and in bowed form, as at 6, with its upper end connected to the bight portion 7 of the oppositely-disposed lamp-chimney-engaging arms 8 and 9, the latter being arranged horizontally for engagement with upper portion or neck 10 of the chimney 11. It will be observed that the free ends of the arms 8 and 9 are each bent backwardly at its extremity to permit of an easy clamping of the said arms about the neck of the chimney, the backwardly curved or bent portions of the respective arms being designated by the reference characters 12 and 13. If desired, the upright bowed portion 6, which is bowed to conform to the shape of the outer surface of the chimney, may be formed integrally with the gallery 1 of the burner instead of with or continuing from the finger 5. It is to be und erstood also that the holder may be formed separately of the gallery or its burner, if desired.

In Fig. 3 there is shown a modification, the

onlymaterial difference, however, residing in forming the kinks 14 in the chimney-neckengaging fingers 15 and 16. By reason of the kinks 14 each arm has a broadened engagement with the neck of the chimney. Of course whether the arms be kinked they are of such spring nature as to clamp the chimney against accidental engagement from the burner.

That is claimed is- As an article of manufacture, a lamp-chimney support comprising a lamp-burner gallery having chimney-engaging lingers, one of said fingers having a verticallyextended portion formed integrally therewith, and a chimney-engaging member carried by the upper end of said extended portion, said member including bowed arms having spaced outwardly-turned ends.

In testimony whereof I a'l'lix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
